Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting perl: why the return valure of stat and lstat are the same? Post 22275 by thehoghunter on Thursday 30th of May 2002 01:58:07 PM

I could not get lstat to work at all - it would always give "" for an answer - tried hard and soft links.

Why you get the same info may be explained by the description of lstat on Perldoc.com

NAME
Pod::Perldoc::ToMan - let Perldoc render Pod as man pages SYNOPSIS
perldoc -o man Some::Modulename DESCRIPTION
This is a "plug-in" class that allows Perldoc to use Pod::Man and "nroff" for reading Pod pages. The following options are supported: center, date, fixed, fixedbold, fixeditalic, fixedbolditalic, quotes, release, section (Those options are explained in Pod::Man.) For example: perldoc -o man -w center:Pod Some::Modulename CAVEAT
